ROZTERD.IM GdZETTE NARY of JUNE s‘h. The Moniteur of the 31st nit. contains, THE TENTH BULLETIN. Eaeaspoar, MAY 23.—Opposite to Ebersdorf the Danube divides into three branches separated by two islands. ' The distance from the right bank to Alieisland on that side, which is .140 toises in cir cumference, is "'about MOO toises. • The distance from this island to the greater is t 20 toises, and here the stream runs with the greatest force. The larger of the two islands is called In-der-Lobau, and the water which separates it from the main land is 70 toises broad. The first villages which appear after crossing are Gross-Aspern, Esling, and Eniersdorf. 1 Tl:e passage of such a river as the Danube, in the presence Of an enemy well acquainted with all the local circumstances, and who has inhabitants on his side, is tine Of the greatest military enterprise's that can be imagined. The bridge over the arm of the river which se- ' parates the right banks from the first island, and the bridge from this island to that of In-der-Lo- Lm Were ereaed on the inth. MoLtiiia's division had been conveyed to the great ialtitid on the loth by row-boats. On the wroth the EMperor arrived at In-der- Lobau, and caused a bridge to be thcown over the •least. arm of ,the Danube from that island to the lef(bank, between . Grosstispern and Esling., This arm being not quite 70 toises br i pad, only 15 pon toons Were'required for ,the (*ration; which were Limed within three hours by ColDriel AVilliY; of the artillery. . Colonel. ST. CROIE, Aid-de-.Camp of Marshal the Duke of Rivota, .arrived first on the left banki in as open boat, and General LASALLE'S diViSiOa[Of light cavalry, with Mouroa and BOUDET'S S ions, passed during the night. Afterwards the ESIPEROE, accompanied by the Prince of NEUF- CtIATEL, the Dukes of Rivotr and MowrozeLt.o, examined the position of the left bank, and defer-, mined the field of battle, posting the right on the village of Esling, and the left on the village of Gross-Aspern. Both villages were likewise 'gar risoned. On the 91st, at four in the afternoon, the ene- , Info army sheaved itself, and appeared to have for its objet to defeat our van guard, and to driVe into the river. Vain enterprise ! The Duke of RIVOLI was the first attacked at Gross-Aspern, by the corps of General BELLE(/411:01t. Ie manceuvred with the divisions of MOLITOR and . LEGRAND, and rendered completely abortive all the attacki which the enemy made that 'eVening, The Duke of MONTEBELLO defended the village of Es iing, and Marshal the Duke of IsTatA covered the • plain with the light cavalry, .antr.EsriONE's division of cuirassiers, proteCling at the same time EWyeDS.. dorf.,-....41re contest was severe, the enemy having .200 pieces of cannon and' 90,000 men, colleted from remains of all the Austrian corps. D'Espa.oNa's division of cuirassiers, which made several fine charges, advanCed in two'Squires, and took. 14 pieces oqrannon, but a trail killed General D'ESPAGNE while fighting gloriously at the head of his troops. He was a brave man, and in cvery epee eminen4 and praise Worthy. The General of ' Brigade FOULERS was likewise killed in a charge. General Nmisoorz arrived in the evening on-the field of battle, with the single brigade commanded by General Gertstol V, .and distingeished himself by several brilliant . charges. At 'eight o'clock the itClion terminated, and we Temaineil masters of the field. During the night, General OUDINOT'S corps, .Sr. litt.t.Arae's division, and two brigades of light ca. "'dry, and the train'of artillery, pas . sed over, by the bridgea: On. the 29d the Duke of Rivou was the first' "gaged at four in the morning. The enemy made several successive attacks, hi order to retake the. vii= h tg e . At last the Ditke of ftivoLt, tired of riding 91 " lie defensive,, attacked the enemy in his turn, and threw thee) into =talon. General LOGEAND • dicinguished himself by the coolness and intrepi-, dity which charaiterise him. The General of Division BOVDET was stationed 41 t he village of .Esling, and had had orders to de fend that imPortant position.- Observing that the enemy occupied a very wide silace between his right and left wing, it was re- 4 40 to penetrate by his centre. The _Duke of. , l int 4 Testmtai led the attack—General Otr.ungor . 4 1113 on the leA, HILLAIRS'S Division was it) the center, and BounsiT's division was on the ti ght Wing. The enemy's centre., could not with stand the sight of our troops: In 'a moment every thi ng was borne down before them. The Duke of hilts* made several brilliant and successful at ticks. Three columns of infantry were charged sod cut down by the cuirassiers. .The Austrian 51 1)3+ was on the point of being destroyed, when at seven i n t h e morning an Aide de Camp of the Emperor came to inform him that the sudden rise of the-D.laube had set 4fli,ht a gi eat number of trees, t winch wire cut down dining the late everts at Nl 7 enna, and rafts which had been left on the bank; and that the bridges which formed the ca:nustutication ' between the right bank and the little island, „tick between the little island and that of in-der-Lobau,' had thereby been carried away. This rapid swell . which usually does not take place until the middle, of June. on the melting of the snow, 'is been. accelerated by the great beat which has for some days prevailed. All the reserve parks of artillery which were advancing, were by the lass of the brid ges detained on the right bank, as was also a part of our heavy cavalry, and the whole of the Duke of AUERSTADT'S corpi. This dreadful accident indu ced the Emperor to pur a ; stop to themevement in advance. He ordered the Deice of MONTERELLO to keep the field of battle which had been won, and then to take hitt pesition with ,his.left wing ,restibg on a curtain-work which 'the Duke 'of RiVot,t co vered, and his right wing at'Esling. The artillery and infantry cartridges. which were. in out, reserve park could not now be brought across the. river, The enemy was f in a 'most fright ful state of disorder at the moment when he learn ed that our bridges were broken down. 'I he slackening our fire, and the concentrating move ment of our army, whir left him' no doubt zespeet ing this unioreseen accident. All bi&cannon and artillery equipage which were before on the re- , treat, were again drawn out in line, and from nine in the morning to seven in the evening be made most astoniahing exertions, supported_ by the fire of two 1111'101 . ml pieces of cannon, to throw the French army into disorder ; but all his efforts tend ed fo his own disgrace. Thrice be attacked the vil filgeti dif Etlirtg and Gross; , Aspern,-and thrice he fill- ed thed* With his dead. The Fusiliers of the Gnarda, commanded by General MONTON, acquired great: glory ; they defeated the .Eeserve, fermed of all the Grenadiers of the Auitrian army, and the only, fresh troops which remained to the enemy. Gcn. Gaas put to the sword 700 Hungarians, who had in entrenching themselves in the Church-. yard -of Esling. The Tirailleurs under the com mand of General COVAL, performed their first service this 'day, arid proved that they possessed Courage. Gen. DORSBNNE, Colonel-Commandant of the Gld Guard, posted his troops in the third line; forming a brazen, - wall, which was alone capable of withstanding all the efforts of the Austrian arnryi- The enemy discharged 40,000 cannon shot against us, while we, deprived of our reserve parks, were tinder the necessity of sparing dur - ammu'n'ition, lest some, other unforeseen events should occur. In the evening the enemy returned to his old position, which he had left previous to the commencement of the attack, and we remained masters of the field. His loss is 'very great it being estimated by the most experienced officers tha t he left,more than 12,000 dead on the field. Ac cording to the reports of the .prisOtiers the enemy have had 23,. Generals and (60 superior Officers killed or wounded. Lieutenant Field Marshal WE exit and 1500 men, and four standards, have fallen itito. our hands. Our losS has also been considera ble. We have 1,100 killed and 3,000 wounded. The Duke Of MONTEBELLO :Was wounded by a cannon ball in the thigh, at six o'clock in the even ing of the 22d ; but an amputation has taken place, and his life is out if danger. At first it was thought that he was killed, and being carried on a hind-barrow to .where the EMPEROR was, his adieu was most affetling. In the midst Of all the anxieties of the day, the Emperor gave himself up- to the expression of that tender friendship which during so' many years he has cherished for t his brave coMpanion in arms.' Some 'tears roil ed from his eyes, and turning to those who sur rounded him he said—" My heart required such a painful stroke as this, 'to make me occupy myseY, on thillay, with any othee care than that of my army." The Duke of 1110111• t ittaa,o was insensible, but re. covered himself in . the presence Of the Emperor : he embraced him and said—'-." Within an hour you will have lost him who'dies with ki-ertory and Me conso lation of being your best friend." The General of Division, ST. HILL. RE, is also wounded: he is one of the first Generals of France. General DUROSNEL, Aide.de-Catup to the Eikt f' Lit OR , was also killed by a cannon ball, while he was car- vying an order. The soldiers displayed all that coolness and intre pidity which is peculiar to the French only. The water of the Danube still increasing, the bridges of the Danube could not be restored during the night.; the Emperor, therefore, ordered the ar my, on the 23d, to pass frym the left bank across the little arm, and take a position in the Island of In-der-Loblu, protetlitig the Tetes du Polite. ' The works for replacing the bridges are continued with assiduity, and nothing will be undertaken until they are sedum, not only against the accidents of the water, but against any thing that may be attemptt;il against them. The rise of the river, and the rapidity of the SiTO3I3V must require much labour and, great caution. 03 the tad,, when the artily vas informed that t he,l3,inperor had ordered it - to retreat to . the great istand i ziuthingcould exceed the astonishment of the tir.tte troupi.,-416torious on both' daysi they 113d:supposed that the remainder or thd army had jointd them; but when 'they were tnid that the high water had,earried away the bridge, and that its continued increase rendered the fent:witl of their ammunition and provisions impra6ticable,•and that any movement in advance would be absurd, it .was, with great difficulty they could be persuaded of the truth' of the statement. That bridges construtEted of the largest boats of the Danube, secured by double anchors and cables, should be carried away, was a great and entirely un fdreieen disaiter; but it • was extremely fortunate that the Emperor was not two hours later of being informed of it. The army in pursuing the enemy Would have exhausted its ammunition, which it would have been impossible to replace. On the 23d, a great quantity' of ammunition was sent to the camp at In-tler-Loban. The battle of Esling, of which a circumstantial re port shall be Made,' pointitig out the brave min who distinguished themselves therein, will, in the eyes of posterity, be a new 'memorial of the glory and in flexible firmness of -the French army. -'• ` . The Marshals the Dukes of MoNrenit.co: and IttroLt on that day displayed all the powers of their military diameter. The Emperor has given the command of the 2d Corps to General Count Out)! NOTi a General tried in a hundred battles, in which,he has always evinced the possession of equal courage as skill. , ELEVENTH BULLETIN..
